In fact, most spammers forge all parts of an email, except the last connecting IP address in the headers (the one your ISP shows connection to). Sorry, it would do no good as you have presented this currently. You must trace the last IP address to whom owns that address, and send the full email, including headers to their abuse dept. I can guarantee it will not be iijlab.net or cidr.jp FWIW, most email lists are harvested by spammers for mail addresses.. just a fact of life. -- Gary
